Revenge Of a Nation

-Attacking The Scarlet Nation - DRAFT

Introduction - Attacking The Scarlet Nation

~"On wrongs, swift vengeance waits."~

I hurried back to my village after hearing of a massacre from passing citizens and merchants that were frantically running the other direction. Even more worried about my daughter, Lily, I rushed forward.

Ahead there was a fire spreading from house to house and several corpses, some even had swords sticking out of their bodies, others were caught in the fire. I recognized each one of the faces of my neighbors that were now on the ground, lifeless. My heart wrenched but I stood tall amidst the flames.

Not looking back I grabbed one of the swords protruding out of a man's head and kept pushing forward, I had to protect Lily and get far away from the Ren village.

I looked at the passing houses that were burnt to ashes, flames licking the fallen men who — for their family — fought. I'll end up like them. I couldn't help but run, run towards the once lush village with a blood dipped sword. I'll survive and get Lily. I must live for her!

I saw our house. The one we built together — it was on fire like the rest of them. "Lily!" I staggered into the house, I couldn't help it — the sword was heavy. It was hot and smoke filled the tiny house.

In the smoke I could make out a figure, was it Lily? I stepped forward step by step. I went close to the foggy silhouette, just a foot apart.

That was not Lily

A man's crazy laugh came out of the figure and he turned to me. He was clad in purple armor — the armor of the neighboring nation, Vernon. He pierced his katana into my stomach chuckling at his new victim.

I let my feet drop beneath me as I felt all my strength seep out. I lowered my eyes — there just below his feet... was Lily. Stabbed. Lifeless.

I snapped. The one thing I needed to protect, a promise I broke after she died. My only daughter laid lifeless on the ground but her eyes looked into mine, they were scared.

My eyes aflame, I looked at this crazed man, lustful for blood.  He looked at me with a cold gaze, and I looked back in hatred.

"I swear on behalf of the Scarlet kingdom, Hell, and Heaven, I, Flinn Hale, will bring a death greater than grim reaper himself upon your entire Kingdom. This is my promise to you, soldier of Vernon."

The soldier was surprised before laughing, "I'll wait until that day has come. What is your name commoner?"

"Flinn." He glared at him before completely bleeding out.

The soldier brushed it off, he would never think years later that this promise would change his fate and terrorize him forever.

His vengeance shook the underworld and soared above the heavens attracting the gods.

With that Flinn went limp but his eyes were never ceasing the raging flames that would carry onto his soul in the afterlife.

Heya!

This is still a draft, and I'm really noncommittal to my work. I'll probably leave this here for awhile and work on a cover since i'm so bad at those.

See ya
